Acme Receipts
Thank you for your participation in the Acme receipts 1% back campaign. Unfortunately Acme has decided to discontinue this program and we now have until April 30th to make a last submission. If you have any loose Acme receipts please send them into school by April 16th so we can submit them by the 30th of April to get the maximum amount of money we can. We will still collect box tops, Campbell’s upc, ink cartridges and cell phones for the next competition in May. Thanks again for your support.

Catholic Schools - Dividends for Life: Faith, Knowledge, Discipline, Morals
Catholic Schools Week begins on January 31, 2010. This year's theme is
Catholic Schools~Dividends for Life
Faith, Knowledge,Discipline, Morals
At PJPII we are incorporating our Connections theme into Catholic Schools Week. The four points of our symbol of the Celtic Knot represent the four dividends of Catholic Education:Faith, Knowledge, Discipline and Morals.A Catholic Education has always been a hallmark of quality because Catholic Education's primary purpose is the formation of each child in the light of Christ. Faith, knowledge, discipline and morals are inextricably woven into Christian formation. One can only live a Christ-centered life through these attributes. The value of Catholic Education runs deeper than learning and understanding;it goes to the root of us.It nutures the timeless dignity of each person. Catholic Education ~ Truly Dividends for Life.
The schedule of activities for Catholic Schools Week is attached.

Thank you for MLK Day of Service
On Friday, January 15, PJPII students participated in a Day of Service. All students and staff contributed toiletries to make more than 150 care kits for Friendship House to distribute. Grades 4 and 5 visited Foulk Manor North to meet residents and share in some activities with them. Grades Pre K through 8 participated in a Prayer Service for Peace and then all students worked together on Valentines to send to members of the military serving overseas.The day was a success. In addition to making a Day of Service an annual event, PJPII wants to establish ongoing partnerships with various organizations to ensure that service is a part of school life.
